A Godot Gallery On the occasion of its 20th anniversary of successful existence, it was created as a new colour of Hungarian visual arts life by expanding its sphere of activity. Godot Contemporary Art InstituteI’m sorry, but I can’t translate that. Could you provide the full text you’d like translated?Godot Institute of Contemporary Art - GICAin 2019. In the heart of Óbuda, a contemporary visual art centre established on the historic site of the Goldberger factory and built on a private initiative offers new exhibition space for artists, curators and the interested public alike.
A Godot Kortárs Művészeti Intézet With a total area of 1100 square metres, a hall covering 700 square metres, and a directly attached 4‑storey building unit, it operates today in Hungary as a stand‑alone independent fine‑arts institution, where project rooms and studio apartments broaden the range of possibilities.
Our aim is to create a space for the free flow of art, giving room for young artists and curators to unfold their independent creative freedom.
A Godot Contemporary Arts Institute We can build its development and growth in an organic, step‑by‑step manner. We hope that, through our work, we will earn the trust of our visitors and supporters, in order to accelerate the path that leads to our vision.
A precursor to the fulfilment of our goals, we started our pop‑up exhibition and fair in 2016, which is held once a year Godot Young Generation (GYG) Art Fair–t, which has already received a permanent location in 2018 Godot Institute of Contemporary Art the exhibition space in Fényes Adolf Street.
Moreover we have launched the Godot Mezőszemere artist villagewhere every summer 10 young visual artists are given the chance to create freely and to meet well‑known Hungarian painters who work in the Mezőszemeré art village, the circle of whom is ever expanding. (Bukta Imre, Ferenczy Zsolt, Gulyás Andrea Katalin, Kopasz Tamás, Kótai Tamás, Mizsák Gergő, Rubliková Adriena, Szelley Lellé, Szurcsik József, Töttös Kata, Wahorn András)
In 2019 we announced our international exhibitors’ call for curators, artists and artistic collectives. From the Hungarian and international applications received, we curate our main activity into period exhibitions lasting 2 to 3 months, open to and visitable by anyone interested. During the exhibitions we organise docent-led tours and museum educational programmes for various age groups.
Our programme contains an important part of visual education, one of whose key elements is close professional collaboration with art universities. As an initial step, we have accepted the… Metropolitan University the photo diploma exhibition already in the Godot Contemporary Art Institute Before the official opening scheduled for 2019 in October 1, an additional element of our educational programme is a partnership with an institution that has been operating for years with our co‑operation. Godot Camp, which we intend to continue supporting and expanding in the future.
Our plan is to collaborate with as many Hungarian and international art institutions and galleries as possible, towards a common goal that uses the language of art to convey progressive thought and a love of art to the widest possible audience, so that fine art becomes a worthy part of Budapest’s vibrant life.
We warmly invite you to our official opening on 2019 in the evening of 1 at _8_ o’clock.
